Everyone should have a hobby, it can be anything!! a hobby will make you feel great and happy.

How about Coin Collection? Ok let me give some details about coin collection.

Coin Collection is an interesting hobby, a little expensive but each coin will tell us the story of that era. So coin collection will unknowingly take us through the history.

Here in India, coins are in circulation from the time of Kings. In modern India coins are minted and put into circulation by four government owned mints which are under Reserve Bank of India. Four mints are Hyderabad mint,  Mumbai mint, Kolkata mint and Noida mint.

Some people collect coins that they get from circulation and some people buy coins from mint in the form of coin sets which are either UNC or Proof type. UNC coin sets or Uncirculated coin sets are nothing but set of coins that are issued for normal circulations which are put inside a set/pack and Proof coins are special shiny high detailed and high quality coins that are issued for collectors inside a set/pack. Circulation coins would be made in bulk and supplied for normal transactions but UNC or Proof coin sets are made only in limited quantities.

Today we are going to learn about buying coin sets from Indian mint online. Mint produce commemorative UNC coin set or Proof coin set which the public can buy from mint website and can keep it in their collection.

A commemorative coin is a coin that is made to honor or celebrate a person, an event, an institution or a place.

We can book these coin sets online by visiting the respective Indian mint websites. We can also book coins by taking and sending Demand Draft with the mint details. There is an option to buy coin set directly from each mint counter also.

We can only buy a coin set from Indian mint once the bookings are opened by the mints. The mint will publish the booking opening dates in newspapers or they will send mail to the registered users about the new coin sets which are opened for bookings.
